Paris box

Good morning! Today we have a new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity which is to use your favourite colour combination, using at least two colours.

I personally love black and white plus one other. Here I have added pink and made a trinket box.

I have used the Sizzix Matchbox die to make four drawers, two facing one way and two the other.

Papers: Carta Bella ~ Paris Girl

I have used the Sizzix Tim Holtz ~ Trellis die to decorate the sides.

On the other side of the box I have added a Prima Trinket Charm.

For the centre piece on the lid I have distressed a tag with distress inks and then stamped on my Stamp Happens ~ Paris Socialite stamp. This is one of my most used stamps. Love it!

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• P for pretty petals ~ Alphabet Challenge 
• anything goes ~ Creative Inspirations 

Thank you for looking.

Good morning! Today at Crafts 4 Eternity, we have an anything goes theme. 

I have made a box! Love making these.

I have used the Sizzix Matchbox die to create the three drawers.

The drawer pulls were created from a Marianne Design flower die, with a brad inserted. You will also see these dotted around the box.

I have added little lacey inserts inside the drawers.

For the top and base is used the Sizzix Notebook die to cut the back edge.

Then I cut the Tim Holtz Bird cage die. I've added some bling and a Prima vintage trinket.

Papers: Bo Bunny ~ Crush.

Back of the box.

Thank you for looking.

tea time recipe box

Helllloooo! I've been gone a while. over a month it seems. I just completely lost my mojo. It happens. No amount of pushing paper around will bring it back, so after doing that and failing, decided to just kick back and chill. Result .... finally .... was MOJO! Yeah! 

For our challenge this week at Crafts 4 Eternity is anything goes! So what will you make?

I've made a recipe box. Been wanting to do one of these for ages, so this was the perfect opportunity.

I created the box myself and then added Glitz papers to the sides.

I've created flowers using the . The lid has a Tim Holtz Curio Knob to lift.

One side of the box using a Magnolia Bon Voyage Flower Die.

warm memories

Hello! Happy Friday! So happy to be here after a yukky week trying to work through a head cold. It is soooo exhausting when it drags on so long. Not much crafty time going on as I've been so exhausted by the time I got home from work at night. Anyway, hopefully now I am over the worst in time to enjoy the weekend!

Today we have a fabby new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity and that is lots of leaves. So we want to see lots of leaves on your creations.

For my project I made a box and filled it with some little autumn themed note cards.

Only, because of my yukky week, I have only so far made two notecards and unfortunately haven't had any daylight hours to take a photo of them, so I will have to come back and post them later. But they have more leaves on them!

So, going back to my box, I am really into making boxes right now. For the papers I have used Imaginisce ~ Apple Cider.

Also used my absolutely most favourite die, Magnolia ~ Magnolia tree. Added some little incy wincy flowers.

Thank you for looking and I'll be back later with my notecards!

rock-a-bye baby: Graphic 45 Little Darlings

Good evening! Today I'm coming at you from Crafts 4 Eternity where this week we have a them of nursery rhymes. 

What a great excuse to dig out my as yet untouched Graphic 45 ~ Little Darlings papers. I love this paper line so much, that after buying a full set of 12 x 12, I then went and bought the 12 x 12 paper pad also.

I've made a box and here is the front. You'll see I've used some of the chipboard pieces from the collection.

When you lift off the lid, the front piece falls down.

Here's the full piece open. Excuse the sunshiney shadows :)

The top section consists of two pockets, with space on the front for a photo.

The front pouch contains a simple little card, ready for a personal message to be added.

The pack pouch contains a little mini album.

Hello! Today I am coming at you from Cupcake Craft Challenges, where we have a fabulous red and yellow colour challenge. WOW! What a stunning combo!

As you can see I have made a box, using my favourite Sizzix Tim Holtz ~ Matchbox die. 

I made a little mini album to go on top.

I shaped the top cover with a Sizzix Tim Holtz ~ Plaque on the Edge die. It is all held together with a Tim Holtz ~ Small Ring Binder.

Here it is before I added the ribbons to the binder.
